Chapter 268: Chapter 265 Tied to the Bed
Zhang Hao, who had broken free from control, fled Qin Miaoke’s bedroom at the first opportunity.
He had almost lost control of his body.
As for Qin Miaoke’s figure, it’s not to say it’s the best of the best, but among women of the same age, it’s definitely top-notch.
But reason told Zhang Hao that he couldn’t have any physical contact with Qin Miaoke.
In the daily work, it was enough to look the other way and give her some extra care.
Closer contact was absolutely not allowed.
"You should rest well. Don’t be late for work tomorrow. If you’re not feeling well, you can take a sick leave, and I will definitely approve it," he said.
Having said that, Zhang Hao left Qin Miaoke’s place without looking back.
At the same time, He Qianhui and Feng Nuo, who were still on a business trip, returned to their hotel, dragging their tired bodies.
Kicking off her high heels, she walked barefoot on the soft carpet.
He Qianhui unbuttoned her shirt’s buttons from the collar, one by one, taking a deep breath.
"Xiaohui, you were amazing today. If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have known what to do," said Feng Nuo.
He Qianhui smiled, took a bottle of mineral water from the table, unscrewed the cap, and drank.
"Remember, if you encounter the same situation next time, you can also use the same method to deal with it."
"But it’s not necessarily 100% effective. You still have to adapt it to the person. We’re going back tomorrow. Get a good rest tonight."
After placing the signed contract into her luggage, He Qianhui went to take a shower.
Feng Nuo then sat cross-legged on the bed with her laptop, organizing what she had learned over the last few days on the trip.
This would make it easier for her to apply that knowledge flexibly when she was on her own in the future.
Her phone buzzed. Feng Nuo picked it up, surprised and speechless.
That morning, she had gone to visit a botanical garden with one of the clients.
She had chatted about all sorts of things with the man, and later they discovered they were from the same hometown.
Feng Nuo used this to start a conversation and ended up exchanging contact information with the client.
She thought that after exchanging contact information, there wouldn’t be any further progress.
But now, the client had actually taken the initiative to send her a message.
The message was simple, just asking when she was returning.
Before replying, Feng Nuo made a point to go to the bathroom door.
"Xiaohui, what time is our flight booked for?" she asked.
Having turned off the shower, He Qianhui wiped her face and said, "It should be at eleven o’clock tomorrow afternoon. There’s no need to get up early. Just go two hours in advance."
Feng Nuo gave an ’oh’ and bounced back to the bed to reply to the message.
Just as she put down her phone, it vibrated again.
Feng Nuo decisively closed her laptop. She could write about her business trip insights anytime, and started chatting with the client intently.
After He Qianhui finished her shower, she came over to Feng Nuo while drying her hair.
"Who are you chatting with, looking so happy?" she asked.
Feng Nuo quickly moved her phone aside and asked, "Xiaohui, are you not afraid of sleeping alone?"
He Qianhui didn’t answer right away. "Why, are you planning on not coming back tonight?"
Feng Nuo’s eyes darted around. "It’s that client. He said he wants to go out for a drink with me."
To this, He Qianhui didn’t seem surprised at all.
"If you want to go, then go. I can’t stop you. But do you really only plan to have a drink with that client?"
Feng Nuo didn’t quite know how to answer that question.
Sometimes in the adult world, some things don’t have to be said so explicitly.
"Xiaohui, what are you thinking? He’s just being courteous to me," she said.
"Alright, if you’re going, just go. But if you’re not coming back, remember to send me a message, and don’t miss the flight tomorrow," He Qianhui said.
Since He Qianhui didn’t try to stop her, Feng Nuo quickly took a shower.
She washed away all the sweaty grime accumulated from the day’s fatigue, and even asked He Qianhui for some cosmetics.
Then, she applied a delicate makeup to her face.
Discussing work during the day, wearing more formal attire benefits the company’s image.
But the evening belonged to personal time; one needn’t be too choosy about attire.
What she liked was best.
Feng Nuo picked out a black spaghetti strap dress from her suitcase.
Of course, you can’t wear an ordinary bra with a spaghetti strap dress.
She took out the nipple covers that He Qianhui had given her the other day.
"This outfit looks really nice. If I were the client, I definitely wouldn’t be able to resist wanting to gobble you up," she said.
Upon hearing this, Feng Nuo couldn’t help but feel shy, "Xiaohui, you always tease me. I won’t talk to you anymore; I have to go."
As soon as Feng Nuo left, He Qianhui removed the towel wrapped around her hair.
Seeing that it was still early, she dialed Zhang Hao’s mobile phone.
She took out the hair dryer while waiting for the call to connect.
Zhang Hao heard the ringtone while he was in a taxi.
After picking up, he saw the dearly missed He Qianhui.
"Xiaohui, have you gone back?"
"I’ve been back for a while now, and I wanted to talk to you before resting. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well."
Hearing He Qianhui speak so, Zhang Hao felt a bit of warmth in his heart.
"So, what do you want to talk about today?"
"The colleague who went on the business trip with me, Feng Nuo, might have some good news today."
"Unfortunately, I’ll be alone in the hotel, bored to madness. Can’t you come over through the internet?"
He Qianhui didn’t mince her words at all.
Although Zhang Hao was a bit surprised, he was more concerned that the driver might overhear and get the wrong idea.
"Did nothing unpleasant happen on this business trip? Is everything still going smoothly?"
Zhang Hao might not know what the core of He Qianhui’s job was, but the company wouldn’t send people on business trips without being more than ninety percent sure of success.
Perhaps sometimes it seems like success is within reach, but the heavens don’t always cooperate, resulting in failure.
"It’s all settled. I’ll be back tomorrow. Do you want to make time to pick me up?"
"If I can, I definitely will," Zhang Hao replied succinctly.
"Forget it, I was just joking with you. You’re a doctor, after all. Saving lives is your duty."
"How could I always leave sick patients aside for my sake?"
"I have to stop by the office first after getting off the plane tomorrow, so you don’t need to pick me up."
Zhang Hao had a habit of checking the weather, so he opened the weather app on his phone and glanced at tomorrow’s forecast,
"It looks like there will be a heavy rainstorm tomorrow. If the weather turns bad, remember to call me."
He Qianhui nodded her head, "I won’t talk anymore, I’m going to dry my hair. I’m exhausted today, but I think I’ll be able to sleep well."
"Aren’t you worried that your colleague might encounter some mishap tonight?" Zhang Hao asked.
"Why worry about that? She’s not a three-year-old child. Since she went out,"
"She should have anticipated what might happen tonight. She seemed quite happy when she left," He Qianhui added.
With that said, Zhang Hao couldn’t help but smile as well.
"In that case, you should get some good rest tonight, and make sure you don’t dream about me."
He Qianhui agreed with Zhang Hao’s request because dreaming about him definitely wasn’t a good sign.
The thing she feared most was having some thoughts surface in her dreams.
If it were a sound sleep until morning, that’d be fine, but it’s the half-awake, half-asleep sleeps that she was afraid of.
